The northern Victoria resource manager has updated the 2024-25 seasonal determinations.
The Goulburn and Loddon systems increased from 97 per cent of high reliability water shares to 100 per cent.
The Murray system increased from 79 per cent HRWS to 88 per cent.
In the Campaspe system, the low reliability water shares seasonal determination increased from 22 per cent LRWS to 25 per cent.
The Campaspe system also has 100 per cent HRWS.
The Broken system increased from 24 per cent HRWS to 29 per cent.
The Bullarook system remains unchanged at 0 per cent HRWS.
G-MW Northern Victoria resource manager Mark Bailey said rainfall provided the resource improvements for latest seasonal determination increases.
“The Murray and Goulburn systems were the main beneficiaries from rainfall in recent weeks,” he said.
“While not large, the improvements in the Goulburn and Loddon systems were enough to increase the seasonal determination to 100 per cent of high-reliability water shares.
“Flows into the Campaspe and Broken systems were also above our conservative estimates.
“This led to the seasonal determination increases in these systems.
“The rain did not get the Bullarook system across the line.
“More flow into the Bullarook system storages is needed before a seasonal determination can be made.
“Customers with carryover allocation can access their water when needed.”
